Greaser Girl

Cindy the Soc

On Monday Soda decided to walk with Two, Steve, and I to school. We stood by our lockers. Soda wore one of my work shirt (you could tell because everyone looked at him kinda funny). Steve and I have lockers beside each other and Two Bit just uses my locker (I think he forgot where his was). In all honesty I don't think we're going to class, I think we'll end up at the DX.

"Wash your hair, grease!" A soc boy calls and Steve steps out to fight him but I grab his arm.

"Cool it, we've been in enough trouble lately." I say and he scowls.

Two's arm snakes up around my neck and he kisses my jaw.

"You sure you're ready for this?" He whispered in my ear.

"Yeah." I say simply and I smile to reassure him.

Several greaser walk by heading to class or going out for a smoke apologize for my loss and say how they'll miss Dally. He wasn't an angel or anything but he touched everyone's life some how.

I see a group of soc girls across the hall. They all wear skirts and sweaters and I scowl. I could never dress like that, I'd miss my jeans and leather jacket. One soc girl starts to walk over to us, she looks vaguely familiar and I can't remember why. She's shorter than me and has honey blonde and brown eyes.

"Hey look, Cindy the soc is coming this way." Steve tries to whisper but fails horribly.

I elbow him hard in the ribs.

"Shut up before I beat the tar out of you." I say through my teeth. "She could've heard you."

He soc girl walks up to us and smiles.

"Hi." She waves.

"Hi." We all say back kinda confused. I notice about a million bystanders whispering amongst themselves.

"I just came over here to tell you that I'm sorry for your brother. He was a great guy." Soc girls says sweetly.

I half smile but have to bite my tongue so I don't say 'Dally a great guy? Did you know him'.

"Thanks that means a lot." I say and she smiles.

"You're welcome." She smiles again.

"So what's your name?" Soda wonders and she turns pink.

"Annabelle." She replies.

"Wait your name isn't Cindy?" Steve asks like an idiot and I jab my elbow into his ribs again.

"No it's not." Annabelle says quietly and looks down.

Good fucking job, Grease Monkey.

"Sorry." Steve scratches the back of his neck.

"It's okay, I get it a lot." She admits.

"That's too long." I say changing the subject. "I'll call you Anna."

"Some people call me that." Anna admits.

"I think Annabelle is a pretty name." Soda admits and he's a little pink to.

"Thanks." She smiles.

Soda and her awkwardly look at each other for a second. Steve elbows me and Two points but they don't even notice. Not until Steve clears his throat that is.

"Are you and Soda together?" She asks me.

"I sure hope not!" Two says loudly, getting everyone's attention as his arm tightens around my shoulders.

Soda and Steve start laughing and Anna looks confused. Anna and Soda sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g! She likes Soda! I kiss Two Bit.

"I'm dating you, Jackass. Don't forget that." I say only loud enough for him to hear and he smiles. "No we have grown up together since we were little. Me, Soda, and Steve."

"Oh I thought so, but I wasn't sure." She admits.

"I know this is off topic but I feel like I know you. I just don't know where." I admit.

"Yeah, we did gymnastics together when we were younger." Anna reminds me.

"Yes! Now that makes sense." I say. "Do you still do gymnastics?"

"No not for a couple years now. I miss it though. Some times, you?" She asks.

I'm not going to tell her the real reason. Not going to tell her my parents pulled me out because they went insane.

"No. I didn't really like it. It was too girly for me. I also fell one too many times on my face." I say laughing and shortly everyone joins me.

"I remember that one time you tried to do a back flip on the beam but fell not so gracefully on your face." Anna smiles.

"Oh yeah, that really bad one that got me knocked out and Dally had to carry me to the change room." I remember the day pretty vividly for being knocked out.

"Yeah that was the first time we talked. I was wondering if you were okay." She tells me.

"Yeah. Fun times." I say.

"Annabelle are you coming to class with us?" One of the soc girls call and I make a face. They aren't all like Anna, actually none of them are like Anna.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." Anna calls back.

"You aren't going with them?" Soda wonders and we all look pretty confused.

"No I'd rather hang out with you guys if that's okay?" She asks.

"No of course you can hangout with us. I'd love to have another girl around." I say and she smiles.

"Great thanks!" Anna says excitedly.

Soda looks at his watch and realizes he has to go to work. So we all head to the DX.
